Chris Dodd bags 4 as Broadstreet 3rd’s demolish Barkers 2nd’s Our first league fixture saw us away to the Germans and we couldn’t have asked for a better start at Camp Colditz. Broadstreet displayed early promise and were camped in our opponents half for the first 10 minute, however we failed to capitalise on this territory, and in their first meaningful venture, completely against the run of play, Barkers Butts big winger managed to elude some shaky defence to run in an easy try. Barker’s Butts 7 – Broadstreet 0 This prompted Street into action, and just 3 minutes later, some good hands from ...

You could almost hear the collective sigh of relief from the rest of the Clubs in Warwickshire 1 when the announcement was made that our 2nd team would be joining a new independent league this season. Ultimately this saves some of them the embarrassment of having to find another season’s worth of excuses....favourites from last season were “Our fly-half’s got mumps” and “The dog ate our boots”. The void left by this departure could only be filled by one side, and as Broadstreet 3rd XV finished the season as Warwickshire 2 champions (and winners of the Cov & District midweek cup), we didn’t ne ...

Broadstreet opened their return to National 3 Midlands with a narrow 30 points to 22 away victory over a competitive Luton side. With a mix of old and new faces Street showed glimpses of what supporters can look forward to throughout the season with the backs enjoying plenty of clean ball from a powerful street pack.
